There is a ROM update on the HTC website that I was wondering if it worked on Bell 6800 phones
http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=75&act=sd
Has anyone heard of or tried this on their phones if so did it work?
please see the titan subforums, or wiki. you will find your answer there.
So, for some reason i was just lurking around the Desire forums... they're seriously hurting, they are way behind in terms of development, compared to the Nexus One. Does anybody know why this might be? Since they're basically the same phone, why isn't the Desire (so to speak) neck and neck with the Nexi?
I know that the Nexus One is like the biggest badass of all the phones, and quite frankly i don't know why i'm even asking this, but i'm curious.
Because we have Cyanogen, Kmobs and many other amazing devs
It was the same if you compared the hero with the G1 and Mytouch. I think it's because of the framework of HTC and the HTC phones aren't that open as the nexus. this is why i like my Nexus
I owned a Hero and damn the development on the OS was pathetic the only one who really worked on Hero was Paul (modaco) the others did there best to. but it was nothing i even couldn't put CM on Hero. When the 2.1 came out it was ported to G1 but the hero had to wait, wait for a long time. there where some 2.1 releases for the hero but never worked 100%.

Nexarse one is a half decent phone, wouldn't say it was neck and neck with the superior desire but its ok considering they are similar. The problem is htc. I suspect a deal has been struck between google and htc giving the google phone a slight priority in terms of software release. Either way it don't matter massivley, because if people want froyo on there desire, they can get it. The same as all those nexus one users who wanted sense on there handsets,(but obviously on a lesser phone
By the way, hows that trackball holding out?

What are you, five? "Nexarse" is sure the height of witticism, just like "windoze" and "micro$oft." Sorry, boy, but the two phones are nearly identical except yours doesn't have a noise-canceling mic. Your fanboyism is wasted; it's like stamping your foot and whining that the HTC Hero is better than the Eris when the two are actually the same phone, with identical internals.

An ex-Apple fan by any chance? Your attitude's similar. And I've yet to hear of anyone's trackball falling out, ahaha. "Lesser"? Paul O'Brien recommends a Nexus over a Desire--he's got both--and I'll take his (much more knowledgeable) opinion over an immature fantard's any time.
I personally don't think development is going that badly, you have to remember the nexus one has 4 months over the release of the desire and it not being a world wide release doesn't help, hopefully things will pick up more when it gets official releases in the USA
Mod Edit: Post removed please consult the rules take that as a warning.
So... five?
Btw, the OP didn't mean it as sarcasm because this thread was originally posted to the Nexus One forums. Durrrrr.
Thread cleaned, show respect to other members rules are there to be followed.
Back on topic.
Easy, the nexus one isn't as locked down as the desire. And because a lot more people have a nexus one.
Sendt with Swype via tapatalk on my Desire.
I would have bought the nexus if it had been available because of the reasons above.
But it wasn't in Holland until now, I really do like Sense and all the fluff it adds, i'm not particularly bothered about banging a Rom onto a new device as far as i can tell it's not broken.
So only my posts get deleted, ok.
Let me try again in a more respectful and polite manner.
My initial response was to what I ASSUMED was abit of a tongue in cheek question. It got a tongue in cheek response together with my answer. It was simple sarcasm. It appears however the op posted this on the nexus forum and it was moved by moderators. The op probably did not even realize it would end up here. My response was wrong to the Equally disrespectful response that I got and apologize to anyone who saw it.
i dont know why dunbad is in trouble here for posting something that was intended to be funny
since when is it that if you post a joke you get some pompous person sitting in front of his computer with a thesaurus, dictating some sort of speech against the inhumanity of a sense of humour?
geez some people really need to lighten up
nexus one and htc desire, pretty much identical hardware wise, the nexus one has a noise cancelling mic, the htc desire has a bit more ram
nexus one runs stock android meaning its highly customizable
htc desire has htc sense which works really well, and is soon to get froyo like the nexus one
the development in the nexus one forums is SO great because youre all trying to get sense on your phones, lets face it it just takes one look at your development section to see that, what does the htc desire ACTUALLY need developed? its already got root, we CAN put whatever we want on, most people dont because it works perfect already. Froyo's readily available from the devs here, IF we want, and anyway we're getting it officially in a few days, so in all honestly, software and development wise, the htc desire wins hands down
easy as that
The nexi is great but I've noticed an issue with the "nexi." That doesn't seem to effect the desire. If you post a thread on xda nexi forum, the post somehow disappears, somehow reappears elsewhere and a little one liner appears in the subject field that says "MOVED". Its really odd. It happens loads. Go check out there general forums. Software maybe? Hardware? A bug perhaps? Don't know but either way the desire doesn't seem anywhere near as badly "effected."
People are saying this or that's better about either phone, but at the end of the day I wish I'd had got a nexi, in these difficult financial times I could have saved some money.
But anyway, I thank cgrec, but I don't see froyo coming to the desire officially anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong. But I'm convinced that this has everything to do with handshakes in smoke filled backrooms between google and htc, froyo will be a few months away yet.i hope I'm wrong.
Hi all,
i have published some thoughts regarding HTC Desire and the new HTC Sense version on my Blog.
Hope this is helpful for anybody thinking about getting an HTC Desire:

Let me know if you have any questions. In the end i opted for the Nexus One and i'm currently working on my FroYo review. But the HTC Desire is still one of the best Android devices IMHO.
Thanks for the post but why did you post new and not on the current review thread?

Sorry, i didn't realize there was a dedicated thread for this.
If any admin reads this, could you please move my post to the "Desire Reviews" thread?
Thanks!

Did a search on Developing EVO ROMs and all I came up with were ROMs for the EVO. Any sites I can look at that will guide me in developing a ROM?

I searched for it on google. I suggest looking through those and see what you can find. It may be a mixed bag. Also anything you want to know you can find between google and youtube. Learned how to change my own oil and drop a transmission form there.

Thanks. I saw a link on what you posted that didn't come up when I searched. Don't know why but I was searching for just the evo and all it did was come up with roms posted on xda.
i take it you didnt search hard enuff. there is no difference in developing a rom for the evo or any other android phone. the princiables r the same.
heres some good reading for you that was posted right here on xda

Hi guys I dont have a One X but I've been following it very closeley since the Endevour leak. One really cool thing that caught my eye then was the HTC Speak as some type of Siri rival but I haven't noticed anything new on it since and no mention of it after it's release.
I was just wondering, do your guys One X's even come shipped with it, or has anyone tried installing it from the One X leak?
If not then my guess is that it was probably never anything and most likely an bit of marketing on HTC half of stirring up some trouble wth a possible Siri rival!
------------------
Sorry, wrong thread - could a mod please move it to the Q/A section. Sorry!
is there more help for this. on leedroid rom he has speak anyone know what it does is it just google voice search or is it siri
It hasn't shipped with it and it isn't available in the market, so I'm guessing... no!
